Review The book is an ideal choice for those studying coaching and seeking an evidenced based approach to the topic of coaching and mentoring. -- Jonathan PassmoreThis is a book for those who want to think deeply about coaching and mentoring; it goes well beyond the ‘how-to-do-it’ of many texts and challenges us to pay attention to the wider implications of what we are doing. The authors draw on many sources, always with a critical approach that invites us to think about how what has been written has been influenced by the perspectives and discourses of the time and culture. -- Julie HayThis new edition improves on what was already an excellent text. The additional case studies bring the theory to life and are very helpful. The ethos throughout this book is both thoughtful and humane, it’s an ethical and comprehensive study of coaching and mentoring, and I endorse it wholeheartedly. -- Dr Simon WesternAn excellent summary of historical context and current research understanding … Nicely presented in a logical and easy to follow manner written in accessible language without losing the integrity of the source materials. Significant attention given to critique and opening up of the debates around coaching and mentoring with some very useful parallels drawn between what are often portrayed as conflicting disciplines. -- Dr Gary Andrew HusbandThis book was very informative for key areas of coaching and mentoring, great to see the range and differences between the two. -- Rhiannon Kerry ElliottAn accessible, well presented text. The chapter on Power is particularly illuminating. -- John PerryA thought provoking book which should be on the reading list for anybody studying coaching and mentoring. -- Christopher McKechnieThis text offers a range of valuable information in an accessible format. I’ve used it with both undergraduate and postgraduate cohorts. -- Dr Abbe BradyThis is a very useful and interesting book for anyone needing to gain an insight into coaching and mentoring, and why they are similar but different. -- Lorraine Horton-SmithVery good book and very relevant to social work. Top of my essential list for Practice Educators in training and beyond and have referred to this regularly. -- Ikedola Animashaun About the Author Bob Garvey works with a variety of people, either one-to-one or in groups.
